Noticeable for having CG in some of their shows.

=== Tropes associated with A-1 ===
* [[Conspicuous CG]]
* [[Medium Blending]]: In ''The Making of Kuroshitsuji'', there's a scene in which Hand-Drawn "CG Animators" were in a live action environment (presumably their own CG Department).
* [[Off-Model]]: Happens at times. [http://img808.imageshack.us/img808/1841/11757670.jpg This example from Kuroshitsuji with waist-less Claude] for instance.
